Prepared by a team of experts at Stanford University, the list ranks academics by the number of times their research has been cited against other authors in the subfield in which they work. The selection is based on the top 100,000 by C-score (with and without self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or better.

 

Along with the results of the 2020 Research Assessment Exercise, this list reflects the significant advances the University and its scholars are making. Furthermore, the broadening range of research areas cover the core field of education, as well as other related areas, through our Education-plus approach.
